Important 2024-2025 Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA) Update

The availability of the 2024-2025 FAFSA, which has historically been available annually on October 1, will be delayed due to recent federal changes.

To ensure you receive the latest information, we recommend regularly visiting studentaid.gov for updates. We anticipate the FAFSA will be available no later than December 31, 2023.

How to Submit Your FAFSA

Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at studentaid.gov. The FAFSA will be available in December.

Salem State's school code is 002188.

Check your Navigator "To Do" list

Once your FAFSA has been submitted, the financial aid team will notify you if any additional documents are needed. We also recommend you check your Navigator "to do" list to see if any additional information is needed.

Once complete, the financial aid office will notify you via email and mail that your financial aid package is available.
